Re: 1975D/1961 Cooper Penny
Who said anything about Photoshop? I don't doubt it's a real picture of a fake error. This has every appearance of a coin struck with false dies. Even if that isn't exactly what happened, there's no chance it's a real error. A picture of the reverse will not change that answer. A similar example -
